best CPU for this MOBO?

I have an A10-5800k on mine at home and at work. I am very happy with them. If I was buying them today I might go with the A10-6800k, but I have no experience or have I done any research on that so I can't say it would be better.

I got the ASRock G41C-GS for my Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 cpu. It bought it for $65, but look around for a better price. It supports both DDR2 and DDR3 RAM, 8GB max. It's a good quality basic motherboard.

I'm using a third generation cpu, but you shouldn't have any compatibility issues with the cpu, if anything you might have an issue with you're mobo. Make sure it's compatible with 2400 ram

It will support any AM3+ CPU including the FX series with a BIOS update. I prefer never to use onboard video as for it uses physical RAM for it's video memory. I would recommend a small cheap AMD GPU to go with the board.

Yes, you will have no problem using this cpu with this board. Just be sure you have a good cooling solution.

8gb recommend, and other sempron 145 (no idea, unlock cores for its cpu) and no recommend mother board

Yes, you can use that motherboard with this CPU. It's an AM3+ socket CPU and the motherboard has that socket type. Gigabyte makes good mobos, as well.

Hi. This is a processor quite old to buy it just to update an old pc. But a good motherboard for this processor would be any intel P45 chipset.Currently the Pentium G3220 gives you a kick in the ass to the E8400.Best regards!

Yes, but I'm bemused you are more interested in the sticker than the performance of this cpu!. For the record, I just 'upgraded' from my trusty FX9590 and Asus Formula Z to this 4790K and Asus Z97WS mobo which cost me £500 and has given me nothing but hassle. Check out my Amazon review 'over-hyped, over-priced and a pain in the neck'.

Yes, you can fit that CPU on this motherboard!!!! Here are the list of CPUs compatible with this motherboard!! http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/960GC-GS%20FX/index.la.asp?cat=CPU

You could, It would be bottle necked by your CPU. I'd look at getting a new mobo setup if possible

I am using the ASUS maximus z97 hero and it has a ton of features, looks amazing, and over clocks great!

Preface to say this isn't really relevant to the graphics card as most motherboards have PCIe slots which this card needs for installation BUT: To be honest, this is going to depend greatly on what you are using the system for. This board, in general, looks superb. However, I would advise unless you are doing data creation - application development, music creation, etc. save you money and go with the LGA1155/1150 socket. This, of course, is to say that you are also shopping a CPU. If you already have a 2011 CPU and not looking to upgrade, and can afford this board comfortably, then this looks like a great board to pick up.

Absolutely, I just finished building my rig with this mobo and the i7 4790k. Just put all the stuff together then power up.

I am presently using an AMD Phenom II X6 1045T but you can use any CPU that would fit an LGA775 socket and it should perform just fine. Just "Google" CPU for socket LGA 775 and you will come up with quite an assortment of chips. You can also look up c[u benchmark charts to look at the comparative performance of the different cpu's you have to choose from.

It kind of depends on how much money you got. If you want to save money then i would just update your motherboard bios and slap on a new FX 8 core CPU. But if you want to get the best performance, go with this http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3891#ov and then a FX 8 Core cpu. Hope that helps.
